01 THE SLAB TOWER Concrete Transitions HKU Design Studio 5 with Yongki Sunarta, Myriem Tlemacani Gaudi Architecture Prize | Residential Building Award 1st Runner Up Trophée Béton | Prix Studio 2020-2021 Winner HKU Department of Architecture Public Review 2019FW Selected HKU Department of Architecture Review 2020 / Prospectus 2021 Feature https://youtu.be/Snr68mdX5CI The analysis of structural mavericks aimed to transform their structural language and soak up its peculiar features in the view of developing an architecture for vertical living. The thin shell structure by Zehrfuss, Torroja and Candela allows large span in the horizontal direction. Following this principle and translating it into a pressured surface, overcome its conventional flat characteristic to a multi-level surface. The final prototype outcome is a vertical architecture built from a horizontal structural element: The Slab. The folded slab, performs as beam that allows structural stability. The logic behind this design is a square grid, which varies the number of slopes in each side of it. The building process is mainly comprised of stacking. This action erects the tower to redefine the typical point block towers, suggesting an alternative for space-saving “condensed agglomerates of sealed units”. The slab design also opens up to a variety of possibilities of room types from average flat units to free open spaces, according to how they are configured. This is how the tower reaches collective qualities on top of the rest mentioned above.

Stacking Sequence Chosen 13 Modules could be rotated and flipped to create different combinations and space. The project mainly consists of 3 parts: Ground, Mid and Air, where stacking sequence are judged by its structural and spatial needs.

02 THE GAP Prefabrication for Elderly Housing | Wah Fu Estate HKU Design Studio 4 with Hwanseo Lee HKU Department of Architecture Public Review 2019SS Selected Domination of functionalism and industrialisation after WWII, resulted inflexible and unadaptable buildings, bringing negative impacts on both ecological and economical aspects. The project aims to address the essential quality of cities and building that is sustainable for the long term future, with specific programme of elderly housing in the context of a mixed use development. This project is exploring the method of reconstruction of old apartment building through implication of “gap” to solve the missing sequence of the living space and the commercial zones of the town. Through reconnection of the spaces, we found this area to be a core of the town. Rich in diversity of people and activities, providing community oriented life for the elders living in different zones of Wah Fu Estate. Community Scale, the project brings in main circulation from the commercial complex to housing area. We aimed to activate the unused platform to create a hub, by making use of the existing programmes. Where in building scale, the gap inbetween the floor levels, brings in community oriented programmes, perform as a gathering spot among the residents. In unit scale, small shared gap inbetween the units, used for smaller interaction between the residents, to provide better living quality for elders.

FLUX | MoMA CHARETTE
Cinematic Drawing HKU Visual Communication 1 with Hwanseo Lee and Mirae Nam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Mwr6R7UVZI MoMa Charette is a competition project for MoMA renovation in 1997. Rem Koolhaas once mentioned elevator as one of the key inventions that revolutionized architecture. We approached the project through rethinking OMA’s retroactive and avant-garde influence on the machinery flow in MoMA Charette, by experiencing flux of travelator, escalator and elevator throughout MoMA. Taking the lifted surface as our main subject to have architectural and artistic experience of the museum horizontally, diagonally and vertically, guided with the endless flow of water and wind.

WABA Basketball Club at HKUKSA https://youtu.be/cfdUjbG9eBQ As part of the Korean Basketball team of HKUKSA, always had enthusiasm towards basketball. We decided to go beyond the level of university league. That was the start of WABA (World Amateur Basketball Association). Amateur league of sports were rarely taken seriously with its identity. Thus, I decided to make WABA, with spirit and identity towards basketball. A logo isn’t only a text, it is the summary of the stories beyond the visual, in extension to the history that will be built along with the activities. The focus of the design was to have dynamic motion of sport spirit, while preserving figure of a ball in one. This has been the basis of all designs, from posters to videos.

Started off with HKU, creating videos in reflection to the daily life as a Korean student in Hong Kong. Later, will further elaborated with Korean restaurants and tourism places in Hong Kong, from the persepctive of Korean culture. Before I came in Hong Kong, there were minimal informations on HKU and HKUKSA (Korean Student Association). Thus, after two years of experience in Hong Kong, decided to create a Youtube channel, sharing informations and lifestyle of Hong Kong as a Korean student.
